zavijah:
Adjusting to remaining in the 'hospital wing', as temporary as it was 'supposed' to be was difficult to say the least. . . If not being demanded to remain in bed 'incase she had another episode' was not bad enough, the room was too close to being all white- save the blue curtain. . .
The smell of iron and bile, fresh and old, the screams, sobbing, in agony or in anger was all the too dangerously close to what happened before.
The room she was in apperantly was adorned with 'magic' to not only cut her off from the blood of Terra, but to be able to withstand her own. . . Particularly heated biology- should she have another episode due to reaction of using the lens talisman or from this.
When the hallucinations and terrors of the past reared their ugly heads, sound, sights, touch, was all too vividly there.
But the color was not setting with her at all. . .
She had even gone as far as smearing it with her blood to at least so it was not consistently white. She has hidden in the closet, the ventilation, under the bed. Leaving was not allowed while she was having 'episodes' from the lens talisman. . .
This day, she took to just remaining in the closet. . .closing the door of the room and hiding. She remembered one of the 'nurses' mentioning someone coming. . .whom? She did not know. . . Or perhaps did not hear from the phantoms of her past wailing. . . Staring her down. .

Simon walked down the halls, drumming his fingers on the strap of his bag. He was off to meet Zavijah, someone he'd actually met before in the potions class. He needed to properly have the woman registered, her bad condition had apparently prevented it. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too much of an ordeal, but he'd heard that things had been... troublesome. The thing with the blood had him especially concerned. Maybe he could help mediate, figure out how to make sure she was more comfortable during her time in the building.
Simon got to the room he'd been told Zavijah was in and knocked on the door. He wanted to give her ample warning before he burst into the place. "Miss Zavijah? Hello? This is Simon Groves, I'm here to finish up some paperwork, may I come in?"

zavijah:
Her ear twitched at the sound of someone rapping on the door introducing themselves as 'Simon Groves' . . . She did not know of whom this was, but has met a Groves. . . .perhaps the same person? Or different?
She knew not. . . . .she did understand someone was suppose to meet her? Then there was another point; paper work. . . .
She was not in a position to run. . . Not at the moment. . . Why did they need paperwork on her again? Perhaps it was the Ill mood she was in from being trapped in a constant reminder of what had occured. . . .trapped in an endless cycle of reminders and suppressing the memories. .
The 'medications' did not aid her- if anything they had done more damage. . . Either having no effect or a very poor outcome from eroding her insides to making her bleed though her skin, to seizures. To brittle bones. . . .she had to rely on the damnable curse etched into her back.
These events only acting as reminders. She relented apon thought, anger never solved anything. She might as well face this. . . Though she will continue to tear any 'lines' out and decline medication.
"You may enter." She called from inside of the closet. . . She was not keen apon seeing the room anymore than she has.

"Alrighty, thank you," Simon opened the door, and was momentarily confused to find the room empty. He had not heard that the small woman could turn invisible- he checked under the bed. Nothing. He gave a sniff, and her scent lead to the closet. Blinking in confusion, he knocked at the closet. This woman really was having troubles in her stay here...
"Miss? Are you in there? Could you, um. Would you like to come out and talk with me?"
If she said no, this would make his job a lot harder. Maybe he could offer to chat elsewhere, since she seemed to dislike the whole place.

The smell came off faintly as volcanic ash. It was subtle but hard to miss.
zavijah:
She turned her head towards the door of the closet as he entered and watched his aura move around the room, before seeming to approach where she was . . . .perhaps by smell, since he does not seem to look directly at her, she couldn't hear him sniff- though considering the other things she was hearing, sniffing was the least of her issues. . . .
When he asked if she could leave and speak with him she pondered apon this. . . .
Were they going to experiment on her more? Since nothing aside from their lightly salted water did what it was described to do. . . .
Or was he here for a different reason? " . . . . What do you need of me?" She asked. "Forgive me, for I rather not leave this. . . . Storage room. . .but what do you wish to speak to me for?" She asked.

Simon leaned against the wall by the closet, considering. Trying to coax her out of the closet really wasn't a battle he needed to fight at this time. Maybe she'd warm up if he let her chill in there. It beat the alternative of being some stranger dragging out of somewhere she felt safe.It would be harder, but he could do some of the paperwork through a door. He started digging through his bag for his clipboard and folder.
"Okay, no worries, uh. I need to get you registered, miss Zavijah, and figure out a little more about you. Ask some questions. I heard, um. Your stay here hasn't exactly been very smooth, and I thought maybe we could talk about how we could make it a little better?"
It was his understanding she'd had trouble with medical so far.

zavijah:
She pondered apon this question. . . how does she tell him? should she tell him? What does she tell him? Recalling how Simon Groves held himself during the first 'class' where they learned how to magically turn their hair purple, he was rather self antagonistic in her eyes. . .
She recalled he did not view himself in a fair light. She took a deep breath, no point in attempting to create another alchemic portal towards her 'home' . . . .that set the fire alarm off. . .
". . . .The 'medications' that are offered do not work apon me. " she replied. " They either have no effect or a far different effect apon me. I'd rather not they waste such apon me if they work as intended with others. . . . these 'experiments' do not aid me. " she continued. " The only thing that has worked apon me was the lightly salted water. Blood used apon me boils and cooks apon entrance of my body, some of the medications I had to carve out of myself due to having crystalized under the extreme heat. those that had not done so, proved to be more damaging. " she continued.

There was a horrified noise Simon only halfway managed to swallow. Oh lord. He tried to format a reply, and held his mouth open for a moment before talking.
"I- h-have you let them know? God- um. Yeah that has to stop immediately- digging crystals out of yourself-," he took another moment to collect himself, that wasn't helpful, "Yeah. I'll talk to the doc about their, um. Methods. I'm so sorry- God. I'll put a stop to this."
Fucking hell. He was aware of supers with biology vastly different to a human's but to put someone through that kind of torment- who was the doctor in charge of Zavijah's care? He needed to report this immediately to whoever the hell was in charge of them. That kind of treatment went beyond casual accidents, the fact that there was multiple instances of this haphazard 'experimentation' on this woman- She was digging the crystals out of herself - Simon's own blood was boiling. He was trembling in anger slightly. They were responsible for the wellbeing of Zavijah while she was here- that was their job.
He licked his lips after a pause. He calmed himself. "Is there... anything else? That would help things be better here?"

zavijah:
She blinked, noticing his heart rate seemed to have picked up. fear?. . . No. . Anger. .
When he asked if she told anyone, she took a deep breath. " No. . You would be the first I've spoke of this in the matter" she replied. She wanted to see how often halfbloods came in for aid, and if her kind was rare or not. From what she could tell, it was a confirmation that they hide here, and halfbloods were still rare. . . .
When he asked what else could be done to Improve her stay here. . . She did not know. . . She was not going to tell them to repaint one room and that was going to be her's to go to when she's injured. . .she has no right.
She dug into her butt purse and pulled out one of the small hide pouches that was crusted in dried blood, full of the crystallized medicine she had dug out of herself.
She slightly opened the door and placed the pouch on the ground before closing it. Should Simon investigate, it would look like crystal in the forms of coral like formation from when the structures were filling in the inside of the location where the crystallization began.
Some where hollow, some were solid, some had trapped blood within, some had flesh within, an some looked partially formed. colors would vary from white, clear, yellow, orange, pinks and reds. Sizes varied from very small to that of the thickness of pens and pencils.
"I know I am not being allowed to leave until they believe the effects of the rebound will be no more. . . .but I am not fond of this room. . . .too noisy. . . . Too crowded. "

Simon's stomach twisted, looking at these crystals. She hadn't told the doctors, but how could you miss something like this?! He stared for a moment before speaking.
"The room is too crowded? How do you mean?"
It was just a simple room, he wasn't sure what she meant, glancing around.
"Would it be OK if I took one of the... crystals to show the doc when I talk to em?"

zavijah:
"Take the entire satchel. . . . . One may not be enough. Tis not the only satchel of such that I have- for it took 3 days to fill them. " she replied.
When Simon asked what she meant by crowded, she paused in thought before considering what she should state. . .
"There are many whom hath died and remained. " she replied, when she glanced over towards Simon in thought. Rather his aura- considering the door between them. " one of which seems to reconize you. "

He swallowed his outrage at the fact that Zavijah had multiple bags of these crystals. Be chill. Don't stress her out.
"Thank you."
He gingerly took the pouch- he could smell the blood much better now- and set it aside.
Simon glanced around the empty room again before looking back at the door.
"Like- spirits?" That made sense. This was medical. They fought to save lives, but sometimes death won. He wasn't sure if he should ask who the spirit was, or what they looked like, but this was building a rapport. He wanted Zavijah to be more comfortable with him, and if it meant sitting by a closet talking about ghosts, then fine. They'd get to paperwork eventually.
"Do ya know who it is...? Or what they look like?"

zavijah:
She was quiet for quite a while before finally responding. " . . . This is not something I am fond of admitting. .but I can see, hear, and at times, smell them. " she replied.
She finally opened the door, from what it looked like. She was dead tired. . . She was up late experimenting with the potion Officer Lucidus had taught them, but what evidence of her doing this? Was long cleaned and put away at this point.
Whatever distracted her from the room and the night terrors that followed. . . From the dark, her eyes seemed to glow? But more or less not from anything that would point to Magic- considering she lacked the ability to use Magic.
This was more or less whatever biological build in her eyes that resulted in this. . . .in absolute darkness they would be like moons, but in the shade, it was just abnormal in appearance.
She glanced between Simon Groves, and the space right next to Simon. ". . . . Tis male, with mouse like ears? . He's apologizing for 'missing the last appointment'. . .blue eyes, brown hair. . . Perhaps same height as you and of light build. . . . His skin on one side is missing as if he had skidded against the ground. " she stated.
"He mentions a week ago, but some whom are lost or cannot move on, time is skewed for them. Some of which are trapped within the time they fell. I know not who he is. " she replied. . . She glanced around, her eyes landing on perhaps 8 other places before she closed the door.

This was not what Simon had expected going into things today. He was just supposed to talk to the lady in her room about being registered, ask her about what was up, then get the paperwork he needed done. Instead the woman was telling him that one of his dead friend was hanging around in the hospital chilling. His stomach twisted another time, and Simon tried to keep his voice and hands steady for a reason other than anger this time. "That's... That's probably Blake," under his breath he added, "it's ok buddy. You can go now."
He leaned heavier on the wall, needing the unyielding support.
"I can see if we can get better wards added to the room, if... if that'll help."

zavijah:
Her ear twitched at what was muttered under his breath. . So he knew of the one who focused on him. . .
Though she could hear the spirit seeming to be both saddened and relieved? And confused. . .that Simon Groves had responded to him. . . Watching the aura, he seemed to eventually disappear, or at least left at the moment. She glanced towards Simon Groves. . . .not sure if he was grieving or fustrated. . At the offer of more wards. . . She pondered apon this. . . Before frowning.
"Not wise. . ." She replied. "Apologies, I thank you for the sentiment, but wards may prove detrimental to those trapped. Perhaps would be wise to simply leave the room. " she replied.
Suddenly displacing souls as many as there were, as loud and as present as they were. . . May only prove to distress them further, make then easier meals to demonics. Not something to admit to Simon Groves since he seemed acquainted to this 'Blake' . . . Last she wanted to do was make him believe helping her will come to the cost of his ally's exsistance. Along with quite a few others, as well. .
"Besides, wards aimed at the dead may act against me due to my nature." She added.
